My friend is airing out her dirty laundry for everyone to see...

[Lauriebell82]

So I posted a thread awhile back about my friend who is getting divorced from her husband who she has been with for 5 years. I guess that August 18th is their anniversary so they shared their status comments about their divorce with everyone. This is sad.

 

He said: You know what is great about making a mistake 5 years ago, not a darn thing, especially when you gave up your last 1.5 years of college with 1 person. What a mistake

 

She responded with: It was the 18th, but that's ok as you never remembered much and I can see you'd rather be a child and drink all the time.

 

The posted her own nasty status comment on her own page:

5 years ago I made a mistake. The next 5 and beyond will be perfect.

 

 

I don't understand how this could have happened to them. I asked her why the heck she broadcasted it like that and she said that "he started it." A few years ago she said how much she loved him and how happy they were together. I remember her putting comments on her facebook like "in bed with my wonderful husband for the night." And 5 years later it warped into that. How does that happen?

LB, how do you currently feel about your ex, compared to when you were at the height of your relationship?

I'm not sure a little mutual sniping equates to "airing her dirty laundry", but I say cut them both some slack. They're going through a very difficult time.

Right. And while it may be an anonymous forum, I'd avoid posting their FB's status' here too.

Right again. Or better yet, how do you feel about your fiance, NOW? I'm not in any way suggesting that you'll eventually divorce, but most people feel about their SOs when they marry the same way you do about your fiance now. Feelings sometimes change for the worse.

I am mad at him for lying to me, most of our relationship was spent in a love/anger type feeling (because of all his lies). I was desperate so I stayed with him.

 

BUT I see what you are saying, that at one time I did love him and was happy. Still though, it's possible to love someone forever and not have feelings change.

 

I didn't use their names in the facebook comments but I guess someone could figure that out.

 

IMO there has to be more than love there in order to make a relationship/marriage work. Which is really why I think their's failed, they were just too young and didn't know how to deal with problems.

Yeah, true. It's ironic though, she HATED when people used to fight over facebook and post about it.

Aww, she just sent a mass text message to all friends saying that she is wants to have strength to pull her through. I feel bad for her, getting divorced at 24 can't be easy.
